Bei Sangyun sat beside him, and the dog immediately began barking, baring its teeth. Fei Chuan rushed to her side, ready to protect her. But Bei Sangyun calmly extended her hand toward the dog. The dog sniffed her fingers, and after sensing no threat, it wagged its tail. All the fierceness vanished in an instant.
Lin Fei was stunned. The dog was usually aggressive with everyone except him and the vet. From what he could tell, she'd likely been abused by humans before—she was hostile and unfriendly to strangers. But with Bei Sangyun, one gentle gesture was all it took for the dog to trust her.
"You seem to have an affinity with dogs. It's rare for her to like anyone else," Lin Fei said.
Bei Sangyun gently petted the dog. "What's her name?"
Lin Fei paused. He hadn't given her a name yet. "…I'm still thinking about it."
"I hope you give her a pretty one," Bei Sangyun said with a smile.
Lin Fei nodded, and the two fell into a brief, awkward silence.
